to get the things that I want
I want to be able to walk but
I want to be able to reach higher
I am able to see other things I couldn't before
I am able to touch taller
than with my feet planted on the ground
but I can hardly breathe
when I hang up there choking
and I can feel the rough rope bruising my neck
maybe I can build a taller scaffold
so that I am further higher
and i can finally die
my eyes bulging at the view
